ALEXANDRIA, Va. MONDAY EVENING DECEMBER 1887

Caffarel scandal, with its sequel in tho de.
velopment of details affecting the reputa.
tion of NJ. Wilson, was seized with avidity
by the radicals socialists, communists and
other impracticables as an implement of
vengeance upon the President, and the mon
archisls, always ready to discredt the re-
public, have played into their hands.

In being forced to resign before the end
of his proper term President GreVy only
suffers the fate that has befsllen all of mis-
predecessors 10 the presidency since the es-
adjustment OF thu third republic. Theirs
resigned OF May oath, 1873, il consequence
of combination ia the Assembly 10 defeat
bis proposition 10 make the republic perma-
neut bv legislative enactment, and MacMa.
hon, who succeeded Theirs, was forced out
in January 1879, before the conclusion Of his
term otseven years. by q hostile movement OF
which Gembetta was q leading spirit. In
the expulsion of MacMahon Nj. GreVy ls
thought to have taken an active part, and
ii is we'll known that he took part in the
revolution OF July, 1880. This being the
case be cannot well complain of extra con.
stituliona proceedings. The weapon OF
revolution is two-edged, and these who use
/. must take the chances Of its recoli upon
themselves The effect of the resignation Of
President Grevy is of course to diminish the
Importance in the state of the Office held by
him. sud TO make its incumbent dependent
upon the Chamber of Deputies. Such sit
uation was, however, advocated Oy M.
Grevy himself in 1S4S, when he proposed
that the Chief Executive should bold office
at the pleasure of the National Assembly,
with the title of president of the council of
ministers.
NJ. Grevy's public career has been an ex-
tended one. Born at Mont.sous, Vaudrey,
Jura, August 10, 1918, he became an advo-
cate at Paris, whore he acquired influence
as the opponent of socialism and Bonapart
ism. His talent was recognized in his de-.
iense of radicals under prosecution by the
government, and from iS4S to 1851 he was
in public life as member ofthe constituent
aud legislative assemblies. After the coup
d'etat Of Louis Napoleon he withdrew from
politics and prac:iced law. Iu 1865 and
1869 he was elected to the Corps Legislatif
and IN 1871 to the National Assembly. OF
the latter body he was president from Feb
ruary, 1871. to April, 1878, and again in
1876 He Was also twice president Of the
new Chamber of Deputies. On January 80,
1879, ho vas elected President of the French
republic. after Marshal McMahon's resigna-
ton, fora term of seven years, and atits con.
clusion vas reelected for like term. The
bitter hostility of the radicals which result
ed in his expulsion from ofice, may be
traced, perhaps, TO the firm stand ne took
agsinst the inclusion of General Bouianger
in the ministry to be formed to succeed that
o; NJ. Goblet. 1t was g wise act, and IN

HOW 1T STANDS.

Fifteen of the thirty eight states at
the present time have republican
governors. Twenty-three states, in
cluding Rhode Island which yesterday
elected a democratic governor, are
under democratic administrations.
In only eight of the fifteen states
having republican governors, namely,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
and Vermont, did their chief exectives
receive majority of the total vote
cast. The republican governors of
New Hampshire. Connecticut, Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin all hold their offices by a
plurality vote.
We invite our republican friends,
who feel so jubilant over their little
victories In Kansas, to study these
figures, and see what hope they afford
of the election of republican presi-
dent in 1888.
No wonder the astute republican
leaders, who are back of the John
Sherman movement, should desire to
recover West Virginia North Carolina,
Florida, Tennessee, etc TO make up
for the certain loss to the republican
party of New Hampshire, Rhod Island
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
Indiana, Wisconsin, and other north
ern states.-Iopeka Democrat.

JUST BEGUN.
AS a Strong man Rejoiceth to run a
Race, so Does the Fair City OF
Great Bend Gird Herself as she
Prepares for her On
ward Career.
Like Mantua's Poet, her Motto is, ''Sic
Itur Ad Astra''-COme Where
Fortunes Await you.

Notwithstanding that this week has
been one of political excitement
throughout the state and business has
suffered somewhat from this cause,
yet, save short lull for day or two,
it has had a perceptible effect on the
advancing tide of Great Bends boom.
If anyone had al idea that the real
estate excitement was only tempor-
ary furry that would shortly blow
over, the events of this week should
disabuse his mind. Notwithstanding
an exceedingly hot municipal contest,
the real estate transfers for the week
ending to-day, make a splendid show
ing, aggregating very nearly $780,
600. If our city can make such an
exhibit as this when we have gone
through the trying ordeal Of an cleo
ton and when, in most cities of the
state, business was at comparative
stand-still, what can she do when the
circumstances are favorable? Every
friend of Great Bend must feel proud
of her record during this week, and
those who have their eyes turned this
way ought to be encouraged to come
on.
Beginning with Monday and clos
ing with this evening, the tendency
of real estate has been steadily up
ward, day by day. We have talked
this week with several gentlemen,
who came to see if it were true that
Great Bend is enjoying the boom as
scribed to her by the DEMOCRAT, and
in each and every instance they have
said that half the truth has not been
told. One thing that strikes them
with peculiar force is the character
and number of buildings now going
up. When men, who know Great
Bend and her prospects, begin to put
up block that will cost $40, 900, or,
hotels, two of them, each costing
from $751; to s35, 1000, it means
something.
The tide is on and naught will stop
it. The wondrous development is in
its infancy and the great fortunes are
yet to be made. Men, who came
here only few months since, have
made investments and realized one
hundred per cent. on them. Each
day bring new additions to our grow
ing population. This time last year
we modestly contented ourselves
with claiming a population of $500,
but to-day the city has over 1000.
This is why Great Bend is booming,
it is growing. Growing in numbers,
growing in wealth, growing in every
thing that goes to make a great city.

THE editors have sent in their passes.
and we presume the railroads are hap
py. But the question is still in doubt
whether the editors haven't, as class,
more than paid for every ride over the
roads of Kansas. Of course there are
some papers whose advertising is worth
but little to railroads, but we believe
the majority in the state would be will
ling to pay for their rides, if on the
other hand the roads will pay for the
space occupied by time tables, etc.

pen these few lines venturling to hope
they will meet the editors approval,

itorial mill and be published; or, dread
ful to contemplate, be consigned to the
waste basket.
With reasonable rains Clarence will
retain the good reputation as wheat
producing township that she has
made in former years, and will un-
doubtedly send longer stream of the
golden cereal to the Great Bend eleva-
tors than ever before. An unusually
larger acreage of oats will be harvest
ed this year.

THE outside world is just beginning
70 realize the brilliant future that is
opening for Great Bend. For three
years the city aas been growing and
each year has been more brilliant than
its predecessor. Last year all of us
were satisfied that our city had made
wonderful progress. But it was moth
ing when compared with the growth
of this year. Property has advanced
with giant strides, and the growth of
the city in population and wealth has
fully kept pace with the advance of
property. We have passed the period
when there is any doubt about the
future of the city. As we'll as any
thing yet in the future can be foretold
we can speak of Great Bend And
we can assure our readers that this is
the coming metropolis of Central

If there is city or town of any
considerable Importance in Kansas
that is not experiencing a boom, we
have failed to hear of it. Even the
staid old fossils of eastern Kansas, like
AtchisDn, Leavenworth, Lawrence
and Ft. Scott are waking up, and
"humping"themselves to keep up with
thecities of Central Kansas. -McPher-
son Democrat.
To all of which we can heartily
subscribe. But the greatest of all the
booms is h ere at Great Bend, and it
daily grows wider and broader and
deeper.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-04-14

THERE will be neither stopping nor
tagging iii our boom, if our people
will continue their zeal. Everything
is in Great Bends favor, and all we
need is work on the part of our citi-
zens. But we need water works, we
need streets lighted and other public
works ought to be pushed. This is
the way to keep our boom moving.
